Special Menu Items

This module enables "placeholder" and "separator" menu items.

A placeholder is a menu item which is actually not a link. Something like
this is useful with drop down menus where the goal is to have a parent link
which is actually not linking to a page, but which is just acting as a parent,
grouping some children below it.

A separator menu item is something like "------" which is also not linked
to anything but is merely a way to structure menus.

This module depends on the core Menu module.

Installation

• Install this module and its dependencies using the official
  Backdrop CMS instructions

Configuration and Usage

• Configure settings at Administration > System > Special Menu Items
  (admin/config/system/special_menu_items).

• A user can create a new menu item and select the menu item type from the
  following options:

  • Path -- a regular title/path combo menu item.
  • Text with no link -- a title with no path/link (aka <nolink>).
  • Separator -- a separator with no text or path/link (aka <separator>).

• When the menu is rendered any <nolink> item will show similarly to a
  normal menu link item, but there will be no link added to the title. You
  can change the HTML tag used for the menu item in the module configuration.

• When the menu is rendered any <separator> item will show as an item
  which has no link, and the default title will be "-------". You
  can change the HTML tag and title used for the menu item in the module
  configuration.

• A nolink CSS class is added to <nolink> menu items.

• A separator CSS class is added to <separator> menu items.

• View and edit more instructions in the
  Wiki.
